Shindle (Legally Blonde, Cabaret) posed in costume for Entertainment Weekly recently and spoke about the character and the show. “There are a lot of messages here,” she said. “One is that there are forces at work within everybody and the question is what we want to let win. The Mad Hatter represents a part of Alice — I hesitate to say her dark side because she’s the fun, life-of-the-party side, but she’s also her insecurity, self-sabotage, and fear. The tea party is where Alice is introduced to the Hatter and realizes she has to reckon with that force.”
